'Dew of Hermon', is taken from a line in Psalm 133. The writer of that ancient song enthused about how good it is when people live together in unity,and compares it poetically to the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion. In that spirit it is hoped these scribblings will be more refreshing mountain dew, than obscurantist valley fog, where a weary Pilgrim might be refreshed and replenished for the journey ahead.

LESSONS FROM THE ARK

AFTER THE FLOOD

Plan ahead... It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something REALLY big. Don't listen to critics- do what has to be done. Build on high ground. For safety's sake, travel in pairs. Two heads are better than one. Speed isn't always an advantage. The cheetahs were on board but... so were the snails. If you can't fight or flee---float!!

Take care of your animals as if they were the last ones on Earth. Don't forget that we're all in the same boat. When things get really deep, don't sit there and complain-- shovel!!! Stay below deck during the storm.

Remember that the ark was built by amateurs and the Titanic was built by professionals. If you have to start over, have a friend by your side. Don't miss the boat. No matter how bleak it looks, there's always a rainbow on the horizon
